I think plants have feelings. I think that all living things have feelings.

there is a book that came out in the early 70s called "the secret life of plants" which posits that plants have feelings, sentience.

Its also the title of an album by Stevie Wonder.

NOT one of his more popular albums. But a daring stab at psychedelia.

I don't think it's possible to have feelings without a brain, although I'm willing to change my mind if science provides convincing evidence to the contrary.
I'm considering becoming a vegetarian, but I can't cut plants out of my diet too. That would leave just mushrooms. Not really feasible.

I believe that the whole earth is a living organism and I believe in "The Gaia Hypothesis". :nerdy:
